I just can’t inform you how quite a few pitches I have gained over the several years from startup galleries all set to take your revenue and wanting me to assist them signal you up. I handed on 100% of individuals. (You are welcome.)

But I am impressed by the companies a single on-line space has been furnishing artists and customers considering the fact that 2006. 

On this episode of The Artwork Biz, I’m joined by Alex Farkas, founder of UGallery.com.

I want to be apparent that I am not undertaking a commercial for UGallery. My intention is to show you that there are excellent people out there who can enable you sell your artwork. Alex and his group are but one particular of them.

Their organization model feels distinct from quite a few (most) of the other on the internet galleries. They know artwork. They curate the perform so there are not thousands of random artists competing for eyeballs.

UGallery is paid out on fee, so they only make cash if art sells. They commit in marketing and advertising to support market far more art. They are hunting for relationships with their artists and nurture their artists to assist them market superior on the internet.

The target of UGallery is on painting, but you really should listen to their story even if you are not a painter since you need to have to know that there are individuals and firms out there who are on your side and doing matters the appropriate way.
